What To Know About Kojic Acid

• Kojic Acid is a very powerful ingredient that does absolute wonders for your skin, but can also irritate your skin if not used properly! 

• When using any product that has Kojic Acid in it, i HIGHLY recommend only using it 3x a week (preferably at night). 

• ALWAYS apply a moisturizer after cleansing, and ALWAYS apply sunscreen if using during the day time! Re apply sunscreen as the day goes by if you are exposed to sun for long periods of time

• You will make your skin worse if products with Kojic Acid in it is not used properly.

• If you experience a burning sensation while using a Kojic Acid product, that does NOT mean its working! Thats your skin crying to stop!

• Kojic Acid is NOT for everyone! Some may be more sensitive then others, it may work for some and may not work for others, some may see results in a week, some in 3 months. ALWAYS do a patch test before using the product!

• If a Kojic Acid product does not work for you then its either you need a higher concentration of Kojic Acid (which i will not do, sorry), or you need a different type of acid for your skin! I recommend Glycolic Acid for Non Melanated skin, or Mandelic Acid for melanated skin.

• Using kojic acid soap is not considered dangerous if you use a quality product with a low concentration of kojic acid. Kojic acid is safer when used in concentrations of 2% or less (i use 2%).

• NEVER use Kojic Acid products on irritated or open skin.
